All team members are here, safe and sound! Tori was able to get into the airport herself this time to pick up the last two arrivals on Monday, Diana and Amanda. That was awesome!
The first day of clinic went well - there weren't too many patients at the very start so it was slow and simple at first. We saw a couple of patients with strokes and gave out one wheelchair. We also saw many people with orthopedic pain. We will launch our back school tomorrow afternoon, and we are looking forward to seeing how that will go! We were able to connect with a school/community for the disabled in Carrefour through Wendel (associate pastor at the church). We plan to go back there to measure some people for wheelchairs to hopefully bring back next trip. They have a disabled association that meets every other Friday and we are thinking of attending as a team this week! The principal of the school is a beautiful man who is so grateful we met and thankful for any help we can provide. Most of the patients who live there (more adults than children) were abandoned by their families or lost their families in the earthquake. We are excited about working with them in whatever way the Lord allows us. Everyone on the team is well - just a couple of digestive issues. We had two days of rain this weekend which has been refreshing for the hot days. We have yet to have power, but we do have running water and are grateful for the cold showers!
Please continue to pray for our health, our energy levels, and for the spreading of the Gospel.
